Sellier & Bellot XRG Defense ammunition in .380 Auto (part no. SB380XA) loads a lightweight 77-grain solid copper hollow point at 1,116 feet per second, engineered specifically for the small, short-barreled pistols that dominate .380 carry. Sellier & Bellot machines the XRG bullet from a single piece of copper, a lead-free construction built to expand consistently even at the modest velocities compact .380 pistols actually produce. The lighter bullet weight helps drive the velocity needed for reliable expansion where a heavier bullet might underperform. For pocket-pistol carriers who want a lead-free defensive option, this handgun ammunition is built specifically for that gun.
